Some ME Time

Please don’t judge . I work full time more hours than my husband and have a 3 year old and 7 month old baby . I went back to work after 2 1/2 months maternity leave . I never had a break from my kids since they were born . I’ve always lived for them and felt mom guilt if I took any selfish time for myself . I took on a new project at work and was feeling drained and my hubby was taking more breaks for himself to play video games in his man cave . So I started lying and saying I was staying late at work to work on the project two days a week . Honestly to just walk around target or get a coffee at Starbucks lol . I was feeling drained after working 9 hours a day coming home straight to being a wife , mom , chef , etc. So I needed a few hours me time two times a week . The project ended at work and I had no excuse to staying late at work no more and feel bad admitting to my husband who likes to compete whose more tired when I get home . But honestly I wish I had another project starting soon as a excuse . I’m really not a bad mom I swear . I just get drained in all aspects . I always wonder why it’s frowned upon in the Hispanic culture a mom having time for herself but yet the dad can sit two hours in the bathroom on a break and it isn’t frowned upon . My bathroom breaks involve question hour from my 3 year old lol . Is this just me or what .
